The letters had strangely stopped from my long-time American pen pal, until I got another letter to explain the sad reason why.
Devastated to learn that Sara had tragically died, I could only mourn her untimely death and her faraway loss.
Now, the long-distance letters have slowly began to arrive back through my door, just as they used to before.
They are now coming from the brother of Sara...the one who first wrote to me about the truly sad passing of his sister.
One word at a time, this man is beginning to intrigue me.
One word at a time, he is making me want to read more from him.
But Cary Dean lives in New England, and I live by the sea in Dorset.
I can't let him intrigue me.
I can't want to read more of his words.
I'm Rosa Summers - a hopeless romantic who is totally hopeless with all things romantic, and yet, Cary Dean is managing to write his way deep into my heart, and with Christmas just around the corner, I can't let my silly heart run away with itself.
Christmas is all about kindness and laughter. It's about sharing goodwill and spreading joy.... it's not about falling for someone I can't ever be with.
But the magical spirit of Christmas... well, let's just say it has other ideas!

Every Little Thing
Mallory finds herself brokenhearted when she loses the love of her life in a tragic accident. She's left to pick up the pieces of her life with the help of her best friend, Kendall. Her job as a neonatal nurse helps to keep her mind off of her broken heart when something unexpected happens; she comes face to face with Dr. Samuel Daniels. Will she find love again, or will her grief blind her from her second chance at love and happiness? *** "Kendall is under the illusion that you're in love with me. Can you believe that? I just buried my fiancΓ© seven months ago. She told me not to be blinded by my grief, not to see that you love me," I sigh. I notice Sam lower his head. "I'm guessing that must have pissed you off." "It did! I don't want her to ruin the friendship that we have. I like how we are. You throw the love word in there, and it freaks me out." I fight back my tears. Sam raises his head to look at me. "Listen, Mallory. I would never do anything to jeopardize what we have. Please don't let other people's observations of our relationship mess that up, okay?" *** 1st Place in The Candy Cane Awards π₯ 2nd Place in the 2020 Universal Awards π₯ 2nd Place in the Books and Beyond Awards π₯Complete![It hurts....the emptiness [reborn as Rebekah Mikealson]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/386743543-256-k568992.jpg)

The doctors tried to save her, she came back a few times but she didn't want to....she didn't want to live in a world without her son....they fought to bring her back....well she fought to stay dead, so what happens when the next time she wakes she's in a coffin wearing a 20s dress and having the most hungry inducing thirst.....and her only thought 'It hurts.'

Help! I'm Stuck in a Christmas Movie!
Noel has hated Christmas since she was born on the 25th, brought kicking and screaming into the world. Every year, the hatred has grown, until she's become the grouchiest Grinch this side of the Sierra Nevadas. Her perfect Christmas is working straight through, and going home to watch the newest true crime documentary with a nice bottle (or two of wine). Chris was abandoned by Christmas when his mom died and he was shuffled off to boarding school by his ambivalent father. Every year he's taken a nice, long vacation in a tropical location, and this year will be no different-or so he thinks. It turns out that Christmas has other plans, and soon the two of them find themselves swept away to a Winter Wonderland of eternal Christmas. If they don't learn the true meaning of Christmas and find a way to recapture their Christmas spirit, they could be trapped in a caroling, sleigh riding, cookie making existence forever! *****Author's Note: Whew! It's finally finished! Sorry, it's a bit of a mess, typo wise. I'm having it cleaned up and posted on Amazon and Smashwords in time for Christmas (under the name Stuck in Winter Wonderland), if you're interested in buying it. I've also got a couple of other series for sale, and some free ebooks under my name: C.S. Mae if you look on Smashwords. Hope you had a great holiday and a Happy New Year during this crazy time. I also hope that this story brings you a little bit of happiness during the doldrums of Covid-19. I tried to make it as drama free as possible. :)Complete

'Tis the Season
Naomi has always dreaded the holiday season but when she finds herself staying with the handsome stranger and his family that accidentally stole her Christmas tree through the holidays, she just might end up taking a large sip from that cup of holiday cheer that brightens up everyone's Decembers. --------- "You've never kissed anyone under the mistletoe then?" he asks, keeping his voice low. There are literal sparks flying in the air between us right now- I knew I was attracted to him at the tree farm but now that I've gotten to actually know him a bit better, and now that he's standing so close to me, that attraction has seemed to intensify. I give him a tight smile and shake my head.

If You Love Me
In the first second that I laid my eyes on you, everything that I have ever wanted out of life flashed right before my eyes. I could envision us going on picnics, stuffing our faces until we felt sick, holding hands until there was nothing but sweat between us, and introducing you to my parents in hopes that they would love you just an ounce of the way that I loved you. I could see us fighting over the remote only to end up not paying attention to the television program at all. And most of all, I could see you meaning something special to me- being that one consistent person in my life. But that second soon ended and I did not even know your name. Avery Davenport is an artist chaos. On the outside, a girl with her head in books, paint on her fingertips, and one foot in front of the other. On the inside, a girl with hate in her heart, regret in her veins, and self-loathing in her every system. Following a tragic turn of events, she begins to spiral. A tragic and fatal ending that she didn't have the answers to completely causes her to unravel. Pain slowly begins to be masked in the beds of the boys she meets, in her dark and quiet room, and subsequently on the ledge of her dorm room balcony. She didn't believe in hope or happy endings, never having conjured up one for herself or others, not until she met him. Dean Carter is all things remarkable. On the outside, a boy with ironed clothes, hair always perfected, and an ever dashing smile that could melt one's every sorrow. On the inside, a boy with cognizance in his brain, hope in his veins, and loneliness in his heart. Everything in his life has happened according to plan. His every happiness stems from medical books, sunsets, and seeing his loved ones smile. He has never been in love, never so much as thought about a girl beyond what left her lips, not until he met her. Please read the foreword for trigger warnings and disclaimers.

β¬ πππ π»ππ£π οΌ πππππ₯ πππ£πππ€ β¬ There is a crucial moment in one's life that determines the outcome of everything; well, as books and movies would have you believe. But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. πΉπ π π β π π β - βπ ππ‘πππ₯π - β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ This is a work of fiction.
